The Valley of Silent Men eBook

Kent drew her close in his arms. “When
you are stronger,” he whispered, “we will
go over that hidden trail together, past the Watcher,
toward Dawson. For it must be that over there—­we
will find—­a missioner—­”
He paused.

“Please go on, Jeems.”

“And you will be—­my wife.”

“Yes, yes, Jeems—­forever and ever.
But, Jeems”—­her arms crept up about
his neck—­“very soon it will be the
first of August.”

“Yes—?”

“And in that month there come through the mountains,
each year, a man and a woman to visit us—­mother
Anne’s father and mother. And mother Anne’s
father—­”

“Yes—?”

“Is a missioner, Jeems.”

And Kent, looking up in this hour of his triumph and
joy, believed that in the Watcher’s face he
caught for an instant the passing radiance of a smile.
